Scrolling concerns
When reviewing student work, I wish the box that I mark "reviewed" in, and give the student a grade, would scroll down the page as I scroll down to check in each student's assignment. Right now I have to click on the students name and then scroll back to the top to mark the student's grade/reviewed. Then I have to scroll back down to click on the next students name and repeat. I also wish there wasn't two tabs when reviewing student work. I like to see their scores (along with the option of how they answered the problems -…

Disappointed
Hello, my students were so disappointed at the changes to your website :( They loved the fireworks and emotion faces that you used to let them choose. They also said it looks so serious and not so much fun anymore. Just thought you'd like the feedback. Any chance we can get those features back?
Thanks!3 votesGood news! This feature has been added! Students can now set the emotion and the fireworks should also show at the end of practices and assignments.

Hiding Common Core Grade Level for Students
I would like an option to hide the standard my students are working on. I have differentiated my groups according to the skills each student needs to work on but I don't want them to know that they are working below grade level.
1 voteHi All,
In 2.0, students do not see the grade level of the content. Great suggestion! Keep em coming!

I would like to see the ability to assign a link to specific websites that provide further learning opportunities
I would like to be able to assign a student to go to a particular website for additional practice or explanation.

You can accomplish this on the classwall. You can post a link or a video and change the target to open up in another window!

Keep Trying Message
Change the message "Try Harder!" on the student feedback screen - kids getting 90% are seeing this and feeling discouraged, when they shouldn't! How about "Keep Up the Good Work" or "Keep Trying". Try Harder has this conotation of "you didn't do well"...
3 votesHello everyone!
Thank you so much for the insightful feedback. We agree – statements like “Try Harder” has a negative connotation and can be quite discouraging to students. Thus, we have eliminated it from the bank of immediate feedback within all tasks. :)
Thanks for the support and patience, and ultimately helping to improve ScootPad’s platform. We wouldn’t be able to do so without your feedback. You all rock!

Proficiency Report
Currently parents can see the proficiency by concept report with the lowest % listed first. If you number these on the left hand side it would be easier for parents/teachers to assign the weakest concepts more easily.
For example if I want to make 2 assignments based on the weakest concepts I can click on 1-10 then 11-20 to make 2 assignments fast and easy without having to count where I left off.5 votesHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! We rolled out 2.0 and this process will be much smoother thanks to parents and partners like you!
Cheers!

easier referrals
It's too difficult to get teacher referral credits because of all the steps needed to input the name in your account settings. If you navigate through someone's personal link, the credit should register automatically.
4 votesTeachers can access their personal “Referral” Link underneath the “My Account” box on their teacher dashboard.

sync parent dashboards
When I create rewards for our student, my husband cannot see them on his parent dashboard. Conversely, when he creates a reward, I don't see it on my dashboard. Our student sees them both (good).
Parent dashboards should show the rewards for the student. Right now, for the other parent to see them, they have to sign in as the student15 votesHello,
With the home school addition, parents can both see the same dashboard and manage learning for their children!

Spelling Groups
Groupings for spelling. Many of us are using Words Their Way which places students in developmental spelling groups. Can we have the option to create groups for spelling so we can assign a group a list of words rather than clicking (and sometimes forgetting) each student?
0 votesThanks for the suggestion! We have implemented adaptive Spelling Practice which gives teachers the ability to let their students learn vocabulary and spelling on Auto-Pilot.
Here is how it works:
1. Each path has 40 word lists
2. Students practice each list in the path, one-by-one
3. Once a student achieves a 100% on a word list, they pass that list
4. Once a student passes each word list they move on to the next list, and so om -
Spelling idea
I would love to see spelling using a picture of what you want spelled and blanks. Maybe a hint button that adds a letter would be a "clue." so that kids can stay motivated. Maybe even a mode where all the letters were present in scrambled order for those that are really struggling. I make these worksheets up myself, using word, but it is very time consuming and I only have very rudimentary graphics.... I'd love to see an ScootPad Version of this spelling game for kids to try. I'd love to see lists of common spelling included sort of…

Option to Reassign Failed Assignments
Option to reassign failed assignments. (Now, I create a new assignment for just the student(s) who did not meet my expectations, but it would be nice to be able to delete their previous score and have them retake it without having to create a new assignment.)
15 votesHi all,
In 2.0, you are able to reassign assignments easily. Also, student scores are no longer the typical average but a decaying average which places more weight on the latest score. Thanks for your patience!

Linking to webpages
Have links open in a new window on iPads. Right now students can not leave the link once they get there. They need to close out of the app and reenter into it to respond to a link that I shared with them.

When placing a link in the program on the classwall, you can adjust the target so that the video opens up in another window.
Thanks for the suggestion!
